Look below to identify the general parts of a U-lock:
Shackle: U-portion of the lock. This comes in different lengths and widths
Spline: This adjustable piece attaches the lock to the mounting bracket (If your lock does not come with a spline it cannot be mounted on the bike frame. You would need an alternate bracket such as the H-Bar Carrier)
Crossbar: This piece houses the cylinder and connects to the shackle
Sliding Dustcover: protects from dirt and debris (not all locks come with a dustcover)
Note: For u-locks that do not have a spline the lock can also be mounted to the handlebar using a Transit H-Bar Carrier
